Original Iraqi / Iranian GWOT Italian TC/3.6 Clone Mine - U.S. Soldier Afghanistan Bringback - Inert
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This example is totally inert and is unable to be used as a destructive device. It is completely void of any explosive content and is in direct compliance with the current BATF standards governing ownership of inert ordnance.Not Available For Export.This is what we believe to be an Iraqi/Iranian copy of an Italian TC/3.6 Anti-Tank mine. The rubber in the center is heavily cracked, much akin to the desert it came from. The rubber is completely detached from the mine, but it still sits fine for display.The top portion of the mine is unscrewable and can be removed to show the interior of the mine, and there is still much of the interior retained. The mine measures roughly 9½” in diameter and 4½” tall.A great example, ready for further research and display.The TC/3.6 and TC/6 are round minimum metal Italian anti-tank blast mines. Both mines use the same fuzing system. They have round deep ribbed plastic cases that are either sand colored or olive green. The fuze works on an air pressure system, with the top pressure plate forcing air through a small bleed valve. The air then inflates a diaphragm which indirectly applies force to the striker spring until a steel restraining ball is forced out of the way of the striker. The striker is then flipped into the detonator, triggering the mine.The air pressure fuze is designed to be resistant to shock and overpressure mine clearance techniques. It can therefore be regarded as a blast resistant mine. The mine was produced by the now-defunct Italian company, Tecnovar Italiana SpA, but is now no longer in production. In the 1970s a small number of the TC/6 version were produced in Portugal for testing and demonstration purposes only. No further production occurred. TC/6 Electronic versions of the mine were produced, the TCE/3.6, TCE/6. The TC/3.6 mine is found in Afghanistan, and the TC/6 is found in Afghanistan, Chad, Ecuador, and Tajikistan. Additionally, SAT electronic fuzes (which can have anti-handling device capability) may be used with these mines.
